​Teacher feedback from our performances, both literacy musicals and pantomimes, in primary schools.

Feedback from recent Story Explorer workshops in schools:

Children were excited and enthusiastic and participated eagerly in the workshop.They used wonderful adjectives to describe their feelings and events as a result of being stimulated.

— Headteacher, Stalyhill Infant School, Mar 2014

Both the teachers and the children enjoyed the workshops. The texts were well chosen and good links were made with literacy learning objectives. Some teachers were so inspired that they are continuing to work on the texts as a unit of work with their children. The literacy governor commented on how well the workshops were planned and delivered and how engrossed the children were. “The atmosphere made the hairs on my neck stand up” was her comment. Will definitely be booking again for next year!

— Literacy co-ordinator, The Abbey Primary, Mar 2014

The children enjoyed the workshop very much, especially exploring the different feelings drawn out from the book and expressing these through gestures and sounds.

— Reception Teacher, Central Park Primary School, Mar 2014

The teachers were raving about the workshops, they thought they were fantastic and the storyteller who led them was brilliant, creative and managed the children extremely well

— School Administrator, Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School, May 2013

The workshops were great and the workshop leader was particularly good at running them – she had a great rapport with the children but also managed to keep control well which is no mean feat!!
